Whole Brain Teaching Adventures

Here's the latest on my Whole Brain Teaching adventures...

I downloaded the practice card information from www.wholebrainteaching.com.  This requires sharing with 10 of my friends/colleagues when I download an item from the website.  I am considering this blog as my 10 friends, since our school website is currently down.  Hoping that's okay!

The practice cards will be specific to students, not the entire class.  If a student is breaking a rule (see previous post), the practice card is placed in his/her pocket.  At break, the student practices that rule for two minutes.  I am looking forward to this new level.  I am getting the practice cards laminated.  Hopefully I get to use them sometime this week.  I have already discussed the practice cards, but am waiting to use them.

Also, we have great success with "Class/Yes".  I have been amazed at how well I can get their attention by simply calling "Class." They respond "Yes" immediately and I have all eyes on me.  How much fun!!!  Who knew there was something better out there than ringing the bell?!  Now I do!
